Been on the liquid diet for a week and I lost 10 pounds. So the end result will be good. Just save a cheat 1 for something good.

Did you have to say tacos? Lol. My surgery is Sept. 17 and I started my pre-op diet today. I just had a bowl of chicken broth with a little poultry seasoning and black pepper. Not too bad but I really want some real food. I am already afraid that I won't make it through the next 2 weeks without cheating. God I pray the cravings go away! As usual I didn't really get hungry for favorite foods until I started the pre-op diet. Now I am suddenly craving everything I can't have. I need some willpower. Never expected this!

Good evening! I started my pre - op liquid diet too today. It wasn't as bad as I expected but who knows what tomorrow holds. Hang in there and just know that you're not in this alone. Feel free to reach out if you are having a weak moment.

Sorry! (They were yummy!)

Our doc has us do a week of Clear Liquids plus Protein Drinks. My husband works in a very physically demanding job and the doc told him that if he just absolutely had to eat something on workdays, then he could have one baked chicken breast each day.

Cool. My husband's and my surgeon is Dr. Jayaseelan at Dallas Bariatrics. it's a little over two hours from our house to his office, so not too bad of a drive. I just feel a lot more comfortable and confident with him than with any local surgeons here in WF.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
